Tomorrow Cloe has a birthday party at Adventureland, so the whole family is going to tag along and enjoy the fun! I'm pretty excited! In fact, this is probably the most excited I've ever been to visit Iowa's most famous, yet slightly lame, amusement park. I guess that's what a summer without true traveling will do to you! I think we all truly appreciate the simple things in life more and have found tons of enjoyment out of our great little city here!So, in preparation of our new day, we, of course, needed new clothes. Right? Cody's ten year old swim trunks really needed replacing, so we found some oober cool ones at American Eagle. He's so trendy...actually, they were really cheap! Today at Target, the kids and I had some super great bonding time in the dressing room. Wait, it wasn't great at all--3 energetic kids, 1 jumbo stroller, bags of cereal flying all over, hangers being shot across the small closet, lots of singing and yelling...BUT we found a deal and everyone is back to hugs and kisses! I know this picture looks slightly cheesy, but I think this little number will be perfect over my swimming suit. They also are having a lot of great deals at Target...shorts for $6, shirts for $2 and $3...So, hold on to your shorts, we'll be tearin' it up tomorrow! Hopefully, I'll catch a lot of good pictures to share our day with you!

Our little princess, Cloe, is our firstborn and our only girl. She's as sweet and helpful as they come! Her brothers adore her and don't usually mind her mothering. She's also an aspiring artist, excelling student, and growing pianist!

McClain is our tenderhearted, cuddly boy. He loves to watch Daddy and Grandpa work and will probably one day be the best engineer, mechanic, carpenter around! He's always got a sweet, sticky kiss and a hug ready to give away!

Carson adds boundless amounts of energy and excitement to our family! Playing Superheros, sword-fighting, and saving the world are his favorite activities. He loves school and wants to be a police officer someday!

Maddox is our tag-along baby who officially pushed us into the "Big Family" club. He has a contagious smile and a very easy go-with-the-flow personality. He is never lacking for attention or kisses at our house!

Cody and I have been married for almost fourteen years!We're humbled at all the blessings God has given us along the way. We love to be together and think having four kids is pretty swell...as long as there's enough coffee!
